Risk of forest fire in Saxony-Anhalt: level 5 threatens hikers and forests!
Risk of forest fire in Saxony-Anhalt: level 5 threatens hikers and forests!
In the district of Wittenberg, the situation is serious: The highest forest fire theater level 5 has been in effect here since Friday. Soon the neighboring district of Mansfeld-Südharz and in the district of Harz will come into force 5, and from Wednesday. This means that walkers are no longer allowed to leave the main paths of the forest. Um die Gefahren durch ein potenzielles Feuer zu minimieren, trat bereits ab Stufe 2 ein Rauchverbot in Kraft, wie MDR reported.
The areas concerned are in particular the Dübener Heide, the Annaburger Heath and parts of the flening. Environmentally conscious behavior is required here because the forest is at risk. With all caution, the Harz had to fight with a forest fire near Thale on Tuesday, in which around 200 firefighters were deployed. In all other districts of Saxony-Anhalt, the risk of forest fire is still at the second highest level 4.
causes of the danger levels
But what leads to these worrying danger levels? The expulsion of the forest fire hazard classes is the result of many years of data on forest fires. The fire, frequency and the burning readiness of the respective forest structures play a central role. Additional factors, such as the water-permeable sandy soils and the widespread, ignition pine forests, contribute to the very high risk in North and East Saxony-Anhalt, such as the The forest fire hazards are divided into the following categories: A for a very high forest fire hazard, B for a medium -sized forest fire hazard and C for a low. Forests of all types of ownership are recorded for this in order to be able to determine the current danger situation for each district or independent city. The risk of forest fire even has an impact on traffic. The Harz narrow -gauge railways reacted to the situation and, due to the danger situation, use diesel trains again instead of the usual steam trains. A replacement timetable has been implemented with changed travel times since Monday. Six pairs of trips run with diesel locomotives, instead of the usual eight steam train pairs between "three Annen Hohne" and the Brocken. The situation therefore requires maximum vigilance and consideration from all sides. Enjoying hiking and enjoying nature are nice, but in times like these you shouldn't lose sight of security. changes in traffic
